BEN HOLIAD Y'S HOME.
ID. o. MILLS Purchases tho Famous
Ophir Farm.


New York, October 31.-The we'll
known Ophir farm, named by Ben
Holladay after his famous mine, has
been sold to d. o. Mills by George
w. Quintard, assignee of the late John
Roach. The farm contains about 1900
acres of the best land in the town of
Harrison. 1t is three miles east Of
White Plains, and commands a fine
view of Long Island Sound. 1t was
originally known as Charles Miller's
farm. Ben Hnlladay, in his palmiest
days, bought and built stone castle
on it,. Holladay probably spent $780,
600 on the place. When he saw finan-
cial breakers ahead he decided the
property to his wife, and she made q
will providing at her death the property
should 90 back to him. After Holla.
day went West again his wife made
another, without his knowledge, leav-
ing her property to her two daughters.
She then died and Holiday came on
and proved his will. Getting into a
financial difficulty, he mortgaged his
property with the Mutual Life !nsur-
ance Company for $100, 900, and Au-
gust Belmont took a second mortgage
for another 500, 600. About this time
the second will came to light, and the
first will was contested, but stood;
Holladay failed. and the place fell
into the hands of the Mutual Life In
surance Company. The place did not
bring enough to cover the first mort
gage. Eight or nine years later the
place was sold to John Roach, the
ship-builder. Roach spent $25..oOV
in improving it. During all this time
the house has stood gloomy and va
cant. Just as it's successive owners
got ready to occupy it they died, or
had financial mistortunes. 1t IS re-
ported that Mills has purchased the
place for his daughter. Mrs. Whiteiaw

state militia Rifle match,

No little interest will be taken in this COM
petition, which will take place October 18th
and 10th. 1t will be a team match, but the
firings will be from off-hand at 200 yards to
variety of skirmish shooting, testing more
fully than any other kind of practice the
marksman's skill. Last encampment the
shooting of the militia attracted attention in
the highest military circles of the country.
The target made by the Frontier Guards of
sc men, was regarded as something greatly
ahead of anything accomplished before by
volunteer or regular troops. Not long ago
General Reade, United States Army, wrote
Colonel Harrington for the particulars con-
corning the conditions of the match. In a
later time the same number of men were Sc
lected from the Missouri Division and the
same match was shot by them. The result
showed a better score than was made by the
Frontier Guards. This would not be regard
ed very strange, inasmuch as tn soldiers of
the regular army are compelled to shoot
daily and are instructed in all the details of
fine shooting. Then again the score made
by the Guards was on range over which
they never fired before, and in strong wind.
At best the test of Workmanship would be
byl selecting an equal number of men from
the State militia for volunteer militia to be
beaten by the regular army could not be re-
garded great victory. Colonel Harrington
says, however. that he does not believe but
what he can select an equal number of men
who will make greater score under the
same conditions made by the Missouri team.
1t is not unlikely that he will make test at
the October competition.

Electric Light Companies.

The annual report of the Consolidated Elec-
trio Light Company of this city shows the
business to be in a fiourishing condition, with
a growth as surprising to our citizens as it
must be gratifying to the stockholders of the
company. The company's property is To-
Gated in the heart of the city; and, including
the new block just completed, covers about
sixteen thousand square feet of land. The
arc light apparatus was put in by the Ameri-
can Company, who own controlling inter-
est in the plant; and the incandescent ap-
paratus is from the Edison Company. The
company light the entire city of Portland,
and it is claimed that we have the best light
ed city in America. 1t is understood that its
capacity for arc and incandescent lights is
soon to be largely increased and extended.
The Portland Light and Power Company,
recently formed, have completed plans of
their building. 1t will be 80 feet long by AZ
feet wide, and IS feet post 1t will be CON-
pleted in about three weeks. The engines,
boilers, ETC., have been ordered, and all
arrangements made for the installation OF
one of the most complete electric light plants
In this State. The arc lights of the Thomson
Houston Company will be used, and the
right has also been obtained for the use of
the latest and best. 1t is claimed, of mean
descent systems yet invented, namely, the
alternating Induction system of incan-
descent lighting controlled exclusively by
that firm. This system is being rapidly in
troduced for house lighting throughout the
United States.

Maine Eye and Ear lnfirmary.

The Maine Eye and Ear Infrmary has en-
tered upon the second year of its charitable
work, at its pleasant rooms overlooking Lin
coin Park. The State recognizing the value
of the institution, appropriated $4,000
towards paying for the property and the ex-
penditures made thereon, and the city of
Portland has made an annual appropriation
of $780, To place the property on proper
basis, under necessary hygienic conditions,
has cost much larger sum than that re-
ceived from the State or private donations.
To free the Infrmary from debt of $4,000,
the officers have issued circular inviting all
who feel inclined to aid the Institution to
send in their donations to the treasurer,
George F. French, 474 Congress street.
This institution holds clinic daily from
11.3O a. m. to 1890 D. m. for the treatment of
the worthy poor. from all parts of the State,
free OF expense. Those who are obliged to
remain in the institution to have operations
Performed, are charged for board. Under
the present favorable management, however.
the trustees trust they shall be able to main
tain free bed part of the time for excep-
tional cases, and they believe that when
charitable persons learn what vast amount
OF good may be accomplished by establish
ing free beds, the number will De largely in
creased. Since the medical officers receive
no pay for their services rendered at the
daily clinic. care should be taken not to adj
wise those to go to the Infrmary who are able
to pay for the treatment they may REQUIRE,
for this an abuse of the charity, and would
be unjust to all who contribute to the sup

The Pawnbrokers, Experiences,

"There is class of people in every city,"
said the pawn broker, who live from hand
to mouth and it is with this class that we
deal largely. They will buy suit of clothes
one week, pawn them, because they must
have the me ney; the next week and redeem
them the third week"
with what class of people do you deal the
mostP" asked the reporter.
with the high and the low, even minis
tiers have pawned goods in my store. All
classes visit me with all manner of things to
exchange for money Everything from
hollow steers horn to a gold watch, dia-
mond pin, or an old suit of clothes. But,
then, there is class of people with whom /
will not deal; it is that class who spend
their money for liquor. have had men beg
me to take-tthe stockings which they wore on
theiSfeet because they wanted money to buy
a drink"
Are the most of the goods redeemed?"
Eyes, ive-eighths of them and that por-
ton of all the goods in this store belongs to
somebody besides myself"
At this point dissipated looking but well
dressed man walked into the store accompa-
MED by a job wagon driver who had guided
him to the brokers' establishment.

am stranger here and have no friends or
money. The 7alise cost me three dollars and
the clothes in it have been worn but little
give me enough money to pay my way home
and will redeem the valise on my arrival"
The man left the shrewd pawnbroker's
store little later with one dollar, with
which, he said, he intended to buy something
to eat. Similar to this are the every day ex-
periences Of the pawnbroker.
